Mzizi joined the club in January from Soweto All Stars, but made just four substitute appearances without managing to score a goal.
“We had a problem as we had to cut the team down to 30,” Phiri tells snl24.com/kickoff.
“Lucky Mzizi unfortunately is not on the list of players, so he was cut and he left the club and he won't part of the team."
Mzizi, who also played for AmaZulu, Thanda Royal Zulu, FC AK and University of Pretoria, showed promise at Chiefs and won the 2004/05 title under Ted Dumitru, but had his career derailed by off-field issues.
